Troubleshooting

Laces feel uneven or doubled up incorrectly.

The design intentionally features layered and ribbon laces. Adjust both sets of laces carefully to achieve the desired aesthetic and fit.

Suede material appears matted or dirty.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions.

Creasing on the leather upper.

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with repeated wear. Proper lacing and storage can help minimize excessive creasing.
